Antivir Solution Pro is a remake of Antimalware Doctor and Antispyware soft. It is a fake antivirus, sharing the name with legitimate Antivir made by Avira. While Avira’s Antivir is one of the most widely recommended free antiviruses packages, the Antivir Solution Pro is dangerous for the PC.
First of all, Antivir Solution Pro is distributed by security vulnerabilities, like infected Adobe PDF files, Javascript ads on various websites. This is a first sign that a software can not be trusted. Secondly, it will start showing popups and alerts blocking normal processes and limiting access to legitimate websites to scare user into downloading and buying its full version. Thirdly, Antivir Solution Pro might reconfigure the PC to allow easier reinfection in the future, by changing proxy settings, modifying way DNS addresses are recognized and downloading other parasites to weaken the PC.
Antivir Solution Pro can be removed by rebooting into safe mode and scanning the PC with Spyware Doctor or Malwarebytes. Full scan is strongly recommended. As the trojans might block the scan, it is highly recommended to disable the processes before the scan by killing all processes named with random letter strings (especially ending in tssd.exe). If such processes are successfully killed, One can run msconfig and remove startup entries referencing such processes. Still many of the infected files might be missed by manual removal, thus a single secure way is scanning with several automatic removal tools for Antivir Solution pro.
